  1. Hi james I wanted to see if you could help by confirming if the council will collect old radiators as part of the bulky waste collection? Do you know if they would also collect disposed wooden flooring also as part of the bulky waste collection? Rgds Chet

  3. Hi Has any had any experience with using Absolute lofts on a build recently? We are thinking about using them but wanted to get people's views firstly..... Any PMs or messages welcome... Thanks
  4. I think the OP has done the right thing, visible neglect to a child should be reported somehow.. the forum has a large audience therefore has the best chance of reaching the parents here. Don't think there is another way in which to realistically go about it other than to take the nanny's details on the spot (not realistic).
  5. Hi We are a first floor flat in a victorian converted house. There is a ground floor flat also. Re ianr's question - the exact same build as ours refers to another application that was approved for a similar first floor flat on the same road that had their loft plan approved last year. The plan mirrors ours. Hope that provides context?
  6. Hi all I'm looking for some advice from the ED community on a loft build that I recently submitted to the council. My architect has been contacted by the council who has been informed that they consider the build to be too bulky and have asked to slim the build down; This is part of the pre-decision dialogue that occurs. There are other builds on the same road that have successfully had their planning approved for the exact same build as our proposal prior to the challenge coming in from the planning officer. What advice would you recommend at this stage? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Lastly, how strong is the precedent principle should I wish to take this forward for a formal appeal should my proposed build be rejected? All thoughts/comments are welcome!
  7. Saw David Haye the boxer driving down Underhill road in a big merc, seen him a few times in Bromley too in the past
  8. South Norwood looks like good value - not great at the moment but will likely most improve. There were also rumours of crossrail arriving in 2017 or 2018 then again they were just rumours. Fast and frequent trains into London Bridge and good stock of victorian housing. The place could be soon on the up given Westfield arriving etc... Thoughts?
  9. I'm voting in, and fyi - my form has arrived A good friend of mine came up with a great idea. If you don't have the time/inclination to find out all the facts about the EU referendum (I don't blame you) and are possibly unsure which way to vote, perhaps knowing how other notable people are thinking could help out. Here are a few that strongly believe the UK should remain a member of the EU: ? Governor of the Bank of England ? International Monetary Fund ? Institute for Fiscal Studies ? Confederation of British Industry ? Leaders/heads of state of every single other member of the EU ? President of the United States of America ? Eight former US Treasury Secretaries ? President of China ? Prime Minister of India ? Prime Minister of Canada ? Prime Minister of Australia ? Prime Minister of Japan ? Prime Minister of New Zealand ? The chief executives of most of the top 100 companies in the UK including Marks and Spencer, BT, Asda, Vodafone, Virgin, IBM, BMW etc. ? Kofi Annan, the former Secretary General of the United Nations ? All living former Prime Ministers of the UK (from both parties) ? Virtually all reputable and recognised economists ? The Prime Minister of the UK ? The leader of the Labour Party ? The Leader of the Liberal Democrats ? The Leader of the Green Party ? The Leader of the Scottish National Party ? The leader of Plaid Cymru ? Leader of Sinn Fein ? Martin Lewis, that money saving dude off the telly ? The Secretary General of the TUC ? Unison ? National Union of Students ? National Union of Farmers ? Stephen Hawking ? Chief Executive of the NHS ? 300 of the most prominent international historians ? Director of Europol ? David Anderson QC, Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation ? Former Directors of GCHQ ? Secretary General of Nato ? Church of England ? Church in Scotland ? Church in Wales ? Friends of the Earth ? Greenpeace ? Director General of the World Trade Organisation ? WWF ? World Bank ? OECD Here are pretty much the only notable people who think we should leave the EU: ? Boris Johnson, who probably doesn?t really care either way, but knows he?ll become Prime Minister if the country votes to leave ? A former Secretary of State for Work and Pensions who carried out a brutal regime of cuts to benefits and essential support for the poorest in society as well as the disabled and sick ? The guy who was Education Secretary and every single teacher in the country hated with a furious passion for the damage he was doing to the education system ? Leader of UKIP ? BNP ? Britain First ? Donald Trump ? Keith Chegwin ? David Icke So, as I said, if you can?t be bothered to look into the real facts and implications of all this in/out stuff, just pick the list that you most trust and vote that way. It really couldn?t be more simple. And if you are unsure about leaving, don't. Please repost this list, if you think it might help.

  13. Hmmm slightly worried now....Will try and resolve with the owner of the land asap. Does anyone know if we will be liable for prosecution or historic payment for using the land in the past???
  14. Hi I'm just reviving this thread as interested in building a man cave at the back of garden...the neighbour owns the land but through the years they have not enforced ownership... we know that legally that they could fence and take the land back and that anything on this land is legally classed as theirs. Does anyone have any advise as to how we would go about this? The land is substantial and makes up a big part of our garden - I would say its at least 130 square meters and makes up between 30-40% of our current garden.... Any tips would be useful.. thinking of offering c?20k for this land given the size and the ability to build man cave!
